Condition: overall excellent and original. The 1911 Chelsea catalog shows the Chain Clock in 12 inch size, but offered other sizes to order. Note this case made to Tiffany request is not polished on the rear (has bronze finish, serial number and Chelsea Patent info). Dial is perfect, reflector intact. No holes in flange, always meant to hang as shown. Only 5 or 6 chain clocks are known to exist, and so far, this is the only one known with its chains intact. Diameter of case 12", ht with chain 29"
